“Improving regulations regarding published information for technology transfers.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    Nothing found. The 'published information and software' exclusion in 15 CFR 734.7 is unchanged; no BIS rulemaking in the window revisits how the EAR treats published information for technology transfers.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research log

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence

Research notes

Cluster negative search BIS-1 (chapter log): a jq pass over all 154 in-window Federal Register records whose agency is the Industry and Security Bureau — every Entity List, Unverified List, Denied Persons, Section 232 and licensing document of the window — plus quoted-phrase Federal Register full-text searches since 2025-01-20, plus the Bureau’s whole active Unified Agenda on reginfo.gov (agencyCd 0600, DOC/BIS: seventeen RINs, each opened and read). Specific queries: "published information" restricted to the BIS slug (0), "734.7", and "technology transfer" restricted to the Commerce Department slug — the last returns NIST technology-transfer documents, which belong to #1910, not to the EAR.

Reginfo agenda sweep, 2026-09-01 (§3b). The seventeen active RINs of the DOC/BIS slice of the 2026 Unified Agenda (agencyCd=0600, pubId=202510, published in the Federal Register 2026-08-14) were re-read against the rule settled 2026-09-01 — a dated agenda entry naming the ask’s object is attempted. No entry amends the published-information provisions at 15 CFR 734.7. The part-734 entries in the slice (RINs 0694-AJ43, 0694-AJ74, 0694-AK11) are about end-user controls and the direct product rules. Subject area only — Status unchanged.
